Question

14. A particle is projected verically upwards with an initial velocity of 40 ms. Find the displacemen: and distance covered by the parice in 6 seconds. Take g = 10 ms.​

Answer 1

Answer:

By first equation the maximum height reached

v=u+at

0=40+(−g)(t)

t=

g

40

=4sec

Then, the drop of particle from maximum height

s=ut+

[6sec=4sec+2sec]

s=

=20m

Maximum height reached by particle

s=ut+

s=40(4)+

=40×4+5×16

s=160+80=240m

Thus,

Displacement =240−20=220m

Distance =240+20=260m
